Dutro’s daughter was 7 at the time of Zachary’s death. The girl testified she saw both Dutro and Canady commit the deadly beating.

Dutro was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 25 years in prison.

Dutro and Canady were arrested in August 2012 after the woman’s son, Zachary, died in a local hospital with “blunt force abdominal trauma.”

Canady told police he kicked the child in the abdomen and refused to take the child to the doctor afterwards, court documents state. Detectives learned Canady was afraid doctors would discover the abuse.

During Dutro’s trial, the prosecution brought forth a Facebook message from Dutro saying her son was being punished because she thought he would be gay. The message was sent three months before Zachary’s death.
